SERISSA DOESN'T LIKE WET FEET...

Or moss on their trunks. Unfortunately, I knew this. Last years extremely wet spring and summer kept the pot too wet and fed the moss plenty of moisture, add that to a busy schedule and you have a recipe for disaster. Moss crept up the trunk and rotted the bark and the extra wet soil caused the roots to rot and those that lived struggled. I repotted today and used a less water retentive soil, hopefully I can make some lemonade.

This is the tree in question, it should be a deep green and loaded with flowers now.

Actually, the soil is so bad, the weeds won't even flourish in it. Here is the trunk, and some moss, I cleaned it off several times last year, but it kept coming back. Not only did it damage the trunk, my super nice roots on the surface died too.
